Abstract：Academic dissemination is moving from “one-way publishing” to “socialized interaction.” Health Guide (ISSN 3080-7654, eISSN 3080-7662, CODEN: JDABAN, DOI prefix: https://doi. org/10.66106/jdaban, Import Registration Number: G015Z102), a gold open-access health sciences journal published by Quest Press Limited, has recently joined Academia.edu, achieving bilingual (Chinese and English) full-text dissemination of the journal's research outputs. Academia.edu is a leading global platform for academic resource sharing and exchange, integrating literature management, academic social networking, and multidisciplinary resource aggregation. It has indexed over 40 million academic articles covering more than 270 disciplinary fields and is often referred to as the“ Facebook for researchers.” Unlike traditional databases, the core value of Academia.edu lies in constructing a two-way dialogue mechanism between researchers and journals. The journal is dedicated to translating rigorous medical research and health knowledge into scientific information that is easy to understand and trustworthy for the public. All articles undergo strict peer review and are published under the CC BY 4.0 license, making them permanently and freely accessible. By joining Academia.edu, the journal will leverage its social dissemination features to establish direct connections with global health researchers, medical practitioners, and health science popularization professionals, opening a new window for bilingual academic dialogue. This article, taking into account the journal's positioning, analyzes the practical value of this move.
